Outside the town's protective wooden walls, the forest was filled with the natural sounds of animals moving through the trees and the rustling of leaves.
These natural sounds were a dark contrast to the sound of shuffling and snarling of the zombies that could still be heard in the distance.
Every now and then, a branch would snap or a twig would break, signaling that something was moving, but whatever it was remained unseen, hidden away.
Although, despite the bad conditions outside, the town within the protective walls bustled with activity as people went about their daily lives.
Children played in the streets, their voices shushed, but cheerful. The town square was crowded with people looking at the wooden billboard after they have cleaned the insides of their houses.
